For those who believe that man can't be called "beautiful": Can they be called gorgeous?

Asked by LifeIsGrand at 11 May,2013
Or is gorgeous also a females only word? @ Jens, "Think of it this way, a father can call his daughter beautiful and mean nothing by it. If a mother calls her son "gorgeous" I'd be pretty creeped out." See. Now I don't think it is creepy for a mom to say that. I have 2 sons. They're 20 an 22. I brag about their accomplishments but I don't say too much about their looks because it seems superficial and not an achievement. I do remember telling a guy once that my son was getting really muscular and he looked at me weird like I wasn't suppose to say that and when I said that to a woman she thought it was cool. That makes me wonder if men and women think differently about this. But I mostly brag about everything they're doing then how they look physically.

It makes me strongly suspect that the speaker wants to bang said man, but I think the term is allowed. Think of it this way, a father can call his daughter beautiful and mean nothing by it. If a mother calls her son "gorgeous" I'd be pretty creeped out. EDIT: maybe it's because men don't ever hear compliments except from people who are trying to have sex with them.

  1. No.

    If you call a man "gorgeous" there is the very real risk that he will spontaneously combust.
  2. Yes just ask Gregory Gorgeous! OMG he is sooo cute.
  3. I have described many men as gorgeous. I'm pretty sure they love it.
  4. It makes me strongly suspect that the speaker wants to bang said man, but I think the term is allowed.

  5. If they are a homosexual.
  6. I dont like being called anything by a gender narcissistic lesbian.I mean after realizing the fact most of them are gender narcissistic...:

    "Women are nearly five times more likely to show an automatic preference for their own gender than men are to show such favoritism for their own gender"

    "A clear pattern shown in all four studies is that men do not like themselves automatically as much as women like themselves,"

    ...and have a homosexual cognitive bias regarding visual attraction and a narcissistic sexual arousal...:

    Women find women more visually appealing based on human sexual dimorphism.

    ...I simply can't find them attractive anymore and love is certainly out of the picture.
